Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1/3 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until a dough forms. The mixture will be slightly sticky.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out slightly. Flatten each scoop gently with the back of the spoon or your fingers to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies hold their shape.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthier treat! These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
